Valerie Mangan says, "There are so many ways to say "Hello" with SRM Stickers - so I let the word inspire my Summery card set. One of the most fun parts of making this card set was searching through my stash of stickers and combining fonts and words. There's so much potential in a stack of SRM Stickers!"

Jan Tatomir has a favorite dressing for a pear and blue cheese salad that she thought would be a great theme for tube gift. Jan filled the tubes with dried cherries and walnuts, provided a decorative dressing bottle, and the recipe!

Christine Ousley had a great idea for a back-to-school teacher gift. Christine says, "As a former teacher, one of the things that I always needed more of was pencils. They just seemed to disappear no matter how I tried to keep track of them. I was also always looking for ways to carry them around with my clipboard. Then I came up with an idea of putting the pencils in a tube. Then I figured I better think of a way to carry them as well and the idea of a "necklace" started to take hold."

"I thought that attaching a ribbon to the tube would allow you wear the tube around your neck -- A great way to take pencils on field trips or to the playground. To attach the ribbon, I first punched holes in both sides of the tube with my Crop-A-Dile, and then set the large eyelets. I slipped the ribbon through each eyelet and tied small knots on the inside of the tube. Then I decorated the tube with some apple stickers and the words pencil, paper, eraser from the School sticker sheet."

"The last thing I did was decorate the tube with a die cut clipboard shape and put the teacher's name on it along with a cute SRM pencil sticker. I am sure that this would be a gift that a teacher would really appreciate and find very helpful too!"

Happy Monday! Thanks for stopping by... Christine Ousley assembled a CASE card set, put together in a matter of minutes with sentiments and image stickers from the We've Got Your Stickers Plus line. Perfect Summer cards to give as a gift set, or keep on hand;

(Click on image to view larger.) Christine used the same formula for each card, just changing the background color and medallion surrounding the image. The card panels were embossed with a sunray. The images were adhered to vellum and punched out using a circle punch. As a final touch, sentiments were added to the lower right corners.

Aimee Kidd tried her hand at creating a Project Life-styled layout. Aimee says, "I have to say that I am so tickled with how this turned out considering this is my attempt at a Project Life layout! The only thing different about it is I don't have the special pocket pages so I just glued everything down to 12x12 sheets of white cardstock. I loved documenting my pictures like this so there will be more Project Life layouts in my kid's albums!

I completely agree with Corrie when she said the SRM stickers practically did all of the work! I never thought I would be able to use so many of them on one layout!"

Aimee found SRM Stickers to be quite handy when creating this page, she used gobs of 'em!

Here's another "Great Outdoors" layout, this time by Valerie Mangan. Valerie says, "I'm not much of a camper or outdoors-person for that matter. So, when I decided to make a 'Great Oudoors' themed project I wondered if I'd be able to find some subject matter among my photos that would be worthy of the task. Thanks to the SRM Outdoor-themed stickers, it was a breeze. The variety of sentiments on the Say It With Stickers & Express Yourself sheets were perfect for the photos I did have; from an outing with my husband in the Muir Woods near San Francisco."

"Layered underneath my photo is a glassine envelope with a stamped sentiment. The envelope contains my journaling and a few extra photos. I added a stickers from the Express Yourself - Outdoors sheet to the patterned paper under the envelope, the kraft background and also as part of my title."

"I was very excited when I noticed this quote from the Say It With Stickers - Outdoors sheet was by John Muir. The woods where I saw these giant redwood trees is named after John Muir. (The Muir Woods National Monument) I love when coincidences like that happen!"
